But I tried something else; I startet this morning NFS server on my workstation and exportet my home dir. Then started NFS client on the server; and lo and behold it worked! I could mount my home dir on the workstation to the server (mounted as /media/home). Go figure, but I still suspect something is wrong with the portmapper on my workstation.
And what is the filesystem type of /home?
Reiser! So far I do'nt think the filesystem has anything to do with my problems! In the boot.msg file (in my workstation) I get the same error message as when I manualy try to mount the nfs shares (those on my server that is), i.e RPC: The program is not registered. This happens because I have the shares in the workstations /etc/fstab file. I tried to reinstall the portmapper rpm and ran SuSEconfig afterwards; still no luck. I can not moun nfs shares on my server to my workstation, but can mount my workstations home dir on my server as a NFS share. rpcinfo -p now reports the same output on both server and workstation. Also on my laptop its not possible to do the mounting of the nfs shares on the server! But I ca'nt for the life of me se what the difference between the two machines is! (I.e the setup of the nfs server and shares). Firewall and no firewall seems not to matter much! regards larsf
